在Safari新标签页中打开链接

After browsing for a few hours in Safari, it\'s possible to end up with a dozen windows or so because of links that open a new window (links with target="_blank"). I've always wished there was a way to have these links open in a new tab instead of a new window (sometimes referred to as single window mode). 

In the latest Safari 3.1, Apple finally added a (hidden) preference to do just this! To enable single window mode, which forces all links that would normally open a new window appear in a new tab instead, we only need to enable the TargetedClicksCreateTabs preference using the following command (paste it into Terminal):

defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true

[robg adds: This worked for me, but note that it will create those new tabs in the foreground, not the background. Command-clicking the link, however, will open the page in a new tab in the background (this has always been true, as I recall). The preference setting is mostly useful for sites you haven\'t visited before -- with it set, you\'ll not have window proliferation if you just click instead of command-clicking. To undo the setting, you can just delete the preference: defaults delete com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs. Make sure Safari\'s not running before you use either command.]
